The Fair Housing Equalizer with Dr. Lee Lending Forward

    • Entrepreneurship

Welcome to the first of what plan to be a series of discussions around fair housing with Dr. Lee Davenport.  “Dr. Lee” as she is known, is a top real estate educator and coach who has made it her mission to help real estate professionals learn the ropes of being in business “for yourself but not by yourself.”
Dr. Lee trains real estate pros and says that now, more than ever, we have an opportunity to show courage and commitment to fair housing as “Anti-Racist Real Estate Pros” at an individual level and to be change-makers in our firms, associations, and communities.
Join us as we talk about Dr. Lee’s background as an only child of entrepreneurial, real estate professional parents, her tips and tricks around using your own personality type and strengths to become successful in the industry, and her vision for a future where everyone can own a home and reap all the benefits that go along with homeownership, including building that elusive generational wealth for families and communities.
Lending Forward is a weekly podcast hosted by Taylor Ellard and powered by Atlantic Bay Mortgage Group.  We bring you raw stories from real people in the mortgage industry. We're covering what's next in lending, forward-thinking, and reflecting on lessons learned from Mortgage Bankers, Realtors, Financial Advisors, Coaches, and more! How are you lending it forward?
Founded in 1996, Atlantic Bay Mortgage Group® is a privately owned mortgage lender headquartered in Virginia Beach, Va. Atlantic Bay has been recognized as a Top 100 Mortgage Company in America, Best Mortgage Company, Most Enjoyable Place to Work, and an Inc. 500 Fastest Growing Company.
Discussion Points:

Lee’s origin story– including hating the dirty job of cleaning rentals because she was the child of real estate pros
We are told “this is how you have to do the job” but you should be using your strengths and personality to sell
Do you still invest? How does that look now?
What would you tell people these days about investing in real estate?
What worked for you over the years, and what works best now?
Fair housing is obviously your passion– Tell us a little history, and what’s next?
What kind of roadmap are you offering professionals to ensure they are educated about fair housing laws?
Lee advises not buying into all the homeownership myths- just get out there and “own it!”
